Commissioned for - Hank Stewart Emmy Award Winning Poet

Consciousness Rooted

2024

This avant-garde mixed-media piece was created by Jonquille which blends a sepia-toned human profile with a bare tree, symbolizing the interconnectedness of human consciousness, nature, and justice. The tree's roots, terminating in scales of justice, reflect Hank Stewart's deep commitment to social equality and his 25-year journey as a poet, activist, and humanitarian. Using a minimalist color palette and contrasting brushwork, the artwork mirrors Stewart's ability to weave personal expression with broader social themes. The partially formed human features suggest ongoing evolution, while the fully formed tree represents enduring civil rights wisdom that has shaped Stewart's work. This compelling visual metaphor challenges viewers to contemplate their own growth, connection to nature, and role in pursuing justice, echoing Stewart's multifaceted career as an Emmy Award-winning performer, best-selling author, and Poet Laureate.
